Kusari relationships

[casero]

Problem.

Kusari is completely dependent on foreign ore, so they need foreign traders to bring it to them. If FA pirates them so much that they go away, then Kusari is deprived of raw materials, its war machine dies, and Bretonia turns around and conquers them.

Or maybe they're trying to conquer Bretonia for the local ores?

One thing's for sure, I'm not eager to load up with ore to go someplace where the local dynamic is:
AFA guy: "I just pirated this gaijin ore freighter and tried to murder his escort."
KNF guy: "Awesome! High five!"
Escort/trader/miner: "Mayday, AFA guy just destroyed my convoy and tried to kill me."
KNF guy: "STFU, gaijin, we like him doing that. Stop complaining about the pirates or we'll kill you."

I've been told the foreigners should stop and offload everything at the border stations and Deshima, so that Samura or Kishiro move everything inside Kusari. Problem with that? Border stations and Deshima (not entirely sure about Deshima) don't buy ores.

Try to not exagerate things, some lawfuls might look at some other direction. SOME!! And even then, the Farmers and Hogosha won't pirate you in front of a lawful. If you are being pirated, and a lawful is right there, report the whole thing to the KNF, we won't allow any officer who allows piracy.

In-RP, once traders start adopting this mindset, Kusari runs out of materials to build their ships with.

Meanwhile, Bretonia still has Dublin...

In-RP, Samura is the biggest coorporation in sirius, and Kishiro is growing fast.

I had a KNF bomber char in kusari, i sucked the money out of him and deleted him because It was so inactive there. Somehow we need to drag people to kusari. Bretonia is medium active, Rhienland is medium-low, Liberty is UTTERLY HIGH. Gallia is non-existant. Its a bit sad really.

Which inactivity are you talking about?

Nobody wants to work for a corrupt government and this house is publicly clearly corrupt. People can deal with rumors, like that rumor that Bretonia was dealing in cardi or whatever. But solid evidence like this is just to crappy to bother.

The Hogs alliance with Kusari is one of the biggest nitpicks I have with Kusari. By now the Farmers should be a bit more civil since their being a bit more widely accepted as a political party.

Solid evidence? What are you talking about? A thread in general discussions is solid evidence of anything?
You know what, as you all like the cry cry thing, I'm going to tell you how things go in Kusari in very short senteces.

Trader gets stopped by Farmers (once in a while, or did the AFA conquer the game and it became the most active faction around?).
Trader gets blown up or trader paid.
Trader met a lawful.
Trader complains of something that already passed, and of course, they don't have any evidence, or of course they don't want to waste their high paid time in posting a report here.

That's how it's all the time, no one calls for help when it's happening, and when they do, I do go to check, because most of the time, they don't say who is attacking them (Example: I'm being attacked by a pirate).
And once I'm there, I help the trader to get out, by staying there. No, I don't arrest the farmer because someone said he was being attacked (that's how I'm biased), but I do stay there, giving time to the trader to get the hell out.

Now, if you experienced something different, bring the evidence! Damn it!

Now, you would call that corrupt? Well, if you use the OORP information that we are giving you here, you could say that, but in RP, no one should arrest a Farmer because some trader said he attacked his ship.

i suppose that this would be an improper place to mention that i have given up kusari forever?

Well, too bad.
